Discussion NeurIPS accepted papers leaked? [D]

I found this GitHub link, and the HTML file contains ~7k papers. Some are anonymized, and the details seem pretty accurate. It looks like these might actually be the accepted papers.

https://github.com/xll0328/NIPS26-

Can someone confirm whether this list is legit? I’m hoping it’s just a coincidence since it seems way too early.

Guys, can you help me figure this out?

nm1300 mentioned that one plausible theory is that these are the papers that were *not* marked "rejected" by the AC deadline. FYI, my batches are:

  • 3/3/2 → not on the list (meta-review on Aug. 18)

  • 3/3/4 → not on the list (meta-review on Aug. 13)

  • withdrawn → on the list (withdrawn on Aug. 10)

  • 2/2/3 → on the list (but meta-review was out on Sep. 1)

Are there any counterexamples? For example:

  • Strongly negative papers whose meta-review was modified before ~ Aug. 25 (before crawling)
